Bib Shorts

Is there a difference in quality between the bib shorts from love2pedal vs aerotech? I have aerotech bib-tghts and mtb shorts but noticed the love2pedal bibshorts are the same for 2 as aerotech is for one.
Thank you

There is really no way to answer that question. Each person will love/hate a particular bib/short brand. I heard nothing but glowing praises for the Pearl Izumi stuff. Bought a pair and wore them once. Luckily I bought them from REI so they took them back with no hassle.
It kinda sucks but the only way to find what is right for you is trial and error. Hopefully you find what you like quickly.
Just pray that you are different from me. My VERY FIRST pair of bibs were perfect for me. They are Nike. But, I bought them from the discount rack at the LBS. Didn't dawn on me why they might be on the discount rack until much later--they were discontinued. Now I have one pair of bibs that I love but can never find more of, and a couple of pairs that I can live with. . .If I have to. . .I guess. . .

Picked up a couple pair of the Falconi bibs from Love2Pedal recently and they are great. Sizing is as stated on the site. They give a 5% Clyde discount (code is "CLYD"). They are a nice weight and the pad is great. Haven't tried Aerotech but I've got PI, de Marchi, Craft, Castelli and Performance bibs and shorts and I'd rate the Falconi bibs equal to the best of them and better than many. I'm just over 6' and like that the Falconi bibs are a bit longer than other brands (leg length as well as straps). If you are on the short side, this may be an issue.

That's correct. $5. Plus the first time I ordered I got a cool little cycling key chain/bottle opener for free. And both times I ordered I got a coupon for money off my next order, but I haven't used it because the fine print says it can't be combined with the CLYD (or any other) discount.

Just tried the Nasbar Gel rides ones (http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...1_10000_202491). They are nice, better than what I'd tried before (Love2pedal shorts, haven't tried their bibs), but far from perfect. Will continue experimenting. I wish the photos on the store websites showed the shape of the chamois - that's been my problem with both the shorts and bibs I bought online - the shape of the chamois isn't what I want...

The upper on the Deluxe uses a nicer lycra/mesh. The regular uses just lycra.

The Deluxe is cut a little lower in the front in the stomach area. Possibly making the Deluxe bibs slightly cooler in hot weather and a little easier to pee. But if your stomach needs more support, then the regular style might be better.

Both styles use the same Coolmax multidensity seatpad (midweight) and both use the same lycra fabric for the shorts portion.

Thanks for the detailed info, Dan. Another example of your stellar service.

BTW, here's my Falconi Deluxe Bibs and Primal Wear Crankin' Stein jersey (both from Love2Pedal) in action at the Tour de Cure a couple of weeks ago. Obviously I went for the yellow stitching to match the bike:
